Down Unwin's Track
Alison Brackenbury
 
 
And the rain stopped. And the sky spun 
 past the hills' flush of winter corn. 
 The mare1 strode out as though still young. 
 
You walked. I almost said, last year 
 I saw a hare run with her young 
 just past the broken wall, just here. 
 
Two flew in circles. First, one rose 
 upon its great back legs. It boxed 
 at air. The second flinched2, then rose. 
 
England has blackbirds, mice. To find 
 these strong black shapes makes the heart race 
 as barley3 under icy wind. 
 
Boxing is courtship, failed. One broke, 
 tore past us to the rough safe hedge. 
 She crossed the sun. Her colours woke, 
 
ears black, back russet, earth new-laid. 
 Her legs stretched straight. The late showers made 
 bright water fly from every blade.
